More freedom please. The market is fine for some things, people will say, but other activities are too important to be left to the market. Or too complicated. Or too fundamental to our democracy. I say: Privatize everything. To some of you, that will sound callous -- but failure to privatize services, keeping them in government hands instead, ... MOREDrug War Update: Routine Traffic Stop Results In 14-Hour Anal Cavity Search Including 3 Enemas And A Colonscopy

by Bill Frezza. Imagine you are a small town grocer whose business is not large enough for an armored car service, so you regularly deposit the day’s cash receipts in a local bank.

MORESteve Stockman: Treaties Don't Trump The Constitution

Thomas Sowell: An Old 'New' Program
Anything to expand government power. Like so many things that seem new, ObamaCare is in many ways old wine in new bottles.

MOREAlyene Senger: ObamaCare's Impact On Doctors
More regulation, oversight and patients. No class of American professionals will be more negatively impacted
by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), commonly

The ponzi scheme entitlement. Last week's column, "Is There a Way Out?", generated quite a few responses, some a bit angry.

problems as due to nothing more than technical problems or so called
“glitches” that will be ... MOREJury Duty Gives Us Power To Decide The Law

MOREThe War On Pot Is Over! (If Obama Wants It)
by Nick Gillespie. Years from now, 2013 isn’t going to remembered as the year when Obamacare went down faster than a Clinton-era White House intern, President Rand Paul made a name for himself by filibustering against drone strikes and secret kill lists, or Miley Cyrus twerked onstage as sexily as a Rhesus monkey with electrodes ... MOREWill Grigg: The Police As Privileged Peeping Toms
Cops force women naked to watch on surveillance. The police department in Puyallup, Washington has a practice and
custom of ordering female DUI suspects to undress completely in a room
subject to video surveillance. This isn’t a security measure, since the
women had already been patted down for weapons. And the procedure is ... MORETeachers Union Fights Ban On Schools Hiring Sex Offenders
